ThiefHott Too much of everything

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Mridul Mahapatra When R.Balki told to the media about this film, I was very excited. The only reason was it was supposedly a tribute to the voice of Mr. BACHCHAN , the 'BARITONE'. After watching this film I was satisfied mostly.The basic story is - Danish(DHANUSH) a born deaf and mute person wants to be hero and with the help of an assistant director Akshara(AKSHARA) and with the voice of Amitabh Verma(MR. BACHCHAN) he finally becomes a star. After this their ego clashes and both separates and realizes they both need each other. Again they unite but a tragedy spoils all.Although story is simple, the screenplay is really up to the mark. But the problem here is that some uneventful logic, long second half and climax drags. Also Akshara's character mostly seems uneasy.The film belongs truly to Mr. BACHCHAN and it is him for which the film works. DHANUSH too was superb. Other aspects were from medium to OK to good. Finally watch it guys for Mr. BACHCHAN.

Vivek Kalchuri Shamitabh Review:- Have you ever noticed the power of Sound...Have you ever felt the importance of Sound...Have you ever imagined the situation where you wanna express without voice , sound or dialogues...watch Shamitabh and feel the difference. This movie is all about Voice..Sound..Struggle...jealousy...stardom...and passion. The opening scene is welcomed with Big B voice which makes you completely thrilling but from Dhanush lips keeps you guessing whats the story is all about? This is R Balki's 3rd movie with Big B and like previous 2 this one is also a class apart. The storyline is completely different...Movie tile is also unconventional...the promotions style was unique...which creates an overall buzz and the whole package is bundled with the power-packed performance and nice direction. He is another lucky one in the lines of Mukul S Anand how earlier had his hat-trick of Hum, Agneepath..& Khuda Gawah with Big B. As far as Dhanush he has already shown his caliber in his debut movie and in this one he has power packed role which he had performed without any discomfort. Just think of any actor who is his early films has taken that type of risk / role. This proves that he will keep showing his talents in different avatars and do not want to be typed in a particular image like other stars. He left his mark in the entire movie few to mention here are... his reaction when got rejected 1st time, his eagerness n happiness wala expression, airport scene with Big B...etc. Coming to Big B ...my gosh!! What a talent ....what energy...and above all what a voice. This actor is totally flawless...each frame... each angles...shot in the movie where you find his presence make you spellbound. As we have seen him performing in many other films and love his acting this would be the first of a kind which challenges to decide as Big B voice or Big B acting but the winner is both. When he is in frame his acting mesmerizes you and when not his voice does. The overall movie was dominated by his voice which acted as heart & soul of this Fillum. His first interaction with Dhanush, the graveyard practice session, the Rekha reaction at Award Ceremony, the song rehearsal...water n whiskey...Robert De nerio scene where he makes a dig on SRK iconic hand stretching style...piddley song...picture mixture....etc are the few stellar moments which were well crafted and directed. Both danuSH+AMITABH compliments each other and was perfect match as per the story line. The music was also nice specially Title, Fillum n Pidley song. The only downside is the Akshra who was emotionless and tries hard to act. May be the 1st movie phobia. The climax was speechless and amazingly directed. Watch this Fillum and make yourselves blessed and get showered with the essence of Big B's voice.

Shivam Chaudhary As always amitabh was fabulous. Dhanush also played a good role but the sad part was akshara's acting. Akshara was looking damn good in the movie with her green eyes that can hypnotises anyone. :D . After the Interval, storyline was quite shaky and bogus. If anyone interested in amitabh and dhanush's excellent dramatic display then u should see it once. I am giving 8.0 only for amitabh's gem and akshara's looks. Akshara is not good for acting. she was acting with poker face in every situation even in climax scene she stood expressionless. Kid was far better than her. :P

Tanay Pandit Shamitabh Got the pleasure of watching this movie a couple of days back... Its a novel idea which needs to be credited for.. a very unique concept which grasps your attention throughout the first half of the movie... In the second half the plot fades away into a lengthy and very melodramatic affair... But i would still recommend this movie only for the sheer brilliance of Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush... The chemistry between them and the character sketches given to them give essence to the movie.... The mixture of solid performances given by these two actors holds the movie together till the end... Brilliant cinematography and sound editing is one the plus points in the movie...Direction by R Balki is excellent... If the plot and script would have been better the movie would have appealed to the niche masses as well.. Certainly an one time watch only for the hard work put up by the lead actors...or just give it a miss... P.S Watch out for Amitabh abuse from A-Z in just 1 and a half minute
